Teenagers Hilary Lawson, from Montgomery Village G&CC, and Joseph Kim, Redgate GC, birdied the first three holes, added three more on the back nine, and won the annual mixed twoball tournament conducted by the Women's Division of the MSGA at Argyle Country Club, July 27.
Their round of 33-32--65 over the Silver Spring course was 6 under par of 36-35--71, with the men playing at 6,413 yards, and the women, 5,686 yards, in the selected drive-alternate shot event.
Sandee Carmen, from Mountain Branch GC, and Chris Baloga, from Eagle's Nest, won low net with 72-10-62. Eve Andrzejewski-Steve Comings, Fort Meade, collected second net with 78-12-66.
Lawson, who turns 18 Tuesday, and is headed for the University of Maryland, is a former Middle Atlantic Golf Association Junior Girls champion, and was in this event for the second time. She is a Magruder High School graduate. Lee, 19, is from Rockville, a graduate of Walter Johjnson High School, and is an incoming freshman at Temple University. This was his first appearance in the tournament.
Lawson got the team rolling with a 25-foot birdie putt at the first hole, and Kim nailed the next two from inside 10 feet. Lawson cited putting as the key to the victory -- they went on to finish with several putts in the 20-30-foot range.
A late afternoon thunderstorm forced a suspension of play for 70 minutes. The winning gross team was in ahead of it; the winning net team was left with one hole to play, and the second-place gross and net teams had most of the back nine to finish after the break |
